Learning and Development

We support learning opportunities that promote individual and organizational excellence.

Employees also have access to leadership courses through Parks Canada others through the Canada School of Public Service.

Community Involvement

Our mountain national parks are very connected to their local communities. We encourage employees to get involved and provide one paid volunteer day each year.

Partnership and Collaboration

Protecting and presenting our natural and cultural resources is a shared responsibility. We deliver our programs in collaboration with Aboriginal groups, regional stakeholders, local governments, neighbouring communities and citizens, and provincial and territorial governments.

Diversity

In keeping with our values and principles, Parks Canada strives to create and maintain an inclusive, barrier-free work environment in which all employees benefit from equal opportunities.

We support work/life balance. We offer flexible work hours and family-related leave. We have a variety of services in place to ensure the welfare and safety of employees including health and safety training.
